Let's say a classical disc is "perfectly" tagged--it has the cover art from amazon, label and catalogue numbers and the correct album and track titles. Another release comes out and someone tries to add it to MB. It's the same toc, but the album language is different. Wouldn't every single attribute we store on the disc, aside from the TOC, fingerprints, and release date, be necessarily incorrect for this new release? Why is this good to do?
Wouldn't a feature like "duplicate disc" be infinitely better, or have I missed something? -Nate --- Marco Sola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Il Tuesday, May 09, 2006 10:03 AM > Frederic Da Vitoria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ha > scritto: > > > I had a feeling (but I may be wrong, since I > couldn't find any written > > confirmation about this) that in classical MB > admitted entering > > different releases (in terms of dates, country or > publisher) as long > > as the recordings were the same (same track > listing, same performers, > > same performance) and no "remixing" (i.e. no > digital cleaning) was > > done.
